32 Virginis, also known as FM Virginis, is a star located about 250 light years from the Earth, in the constellation Virgo.[2] Its apparent magnitude ranges from 5.20 to 5.28, making it faintly visible to the naked eye of an observer well away from city lights.[3] 32 Virginis is a binary star,[11] and the more massive component of the binary is a Delta Scuti variable star which oscillates with a dominant period of 103.51 minutes.[11]
In 1914, Walter Sydney Adams announced that 32 Virginis is a spectroscopic binary.[12] John Beattie Cannon published the first set of orbital elements for the binary system in 1915.[13] Corrado Bartolini et al. made photometric observations of the star in early 1971, and found that the star showed variability due to pulsations.[14] In 1974, 32 Virginis was given the variable star designation FM Virginis.[15] Donald Kurtz et al. determined that the star was a Delta Scuti variable, in 1976.[8]
The primary star is believed to be an Am star similar to rho Puppis - a pulsating post-main sequence star.[16]
